}}{{nihongo|'''''Taraimawashi-hen'''''|盥回し編|Rotation Chapter}} is the first arc of {{matsuri}}. It is primarily told from the perspective of [[Keiichi Maebara]] and explores what happens if he ignores his paranoia regarding the [[curse of Oyashiro]]. The events of the story are similar to the anime-exclusive arc {{yakusamashi}}.
== Plot ==
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
There are two available endings for ''Taraimawashi-hen''. Ending A is available during the first playthrough of the arc. Ending B becomes available after completing ''[[Tsukiotoshi-hen]]''.
*'''Ending A''': Ten years later, Ooishi meets up with [[Mamoru Akasaka]] to visit Mion in the hospital. While the majority of the villagers in [[Hinamizawa]] fell victim to the [[Great Hinamizawa Disaster]], Mion survived as she was locked in the basement of the [[Sonozaki Estate]] with a head injury. As a result of this injury, Mion sustained severe memory loss and is incapable of recognizing Ooishi or Akasaka. Instead, Mion attempts to play cards with them, believing them to be her friends from [[the club]].
*'''Ending B''': As with the first ending, Ooishi and Akasaka visit Mion in the hospital but are unable to get a response from her. Just before leaving, Ooishi places Rena's hat in front of Mion. He explains that it was found alongside the remains of a hamster inside a box in the river. The detectives leave. Mion suddenly wakes up, realizing the message Rena was trying to send with the box. She asks the nurse to bring the detectives back, declaring that there was "no disaster in Hinamizawa". The next morning, Mion dies of acute heart failure.

== Trivia ==
*Tarai mawashi (literally, "pass the basin around") is a Japanese idiom, referring to someone avoiding a necessary but unpleasant task by passing the responsibility on to another, similar to the American English phrase "passing the buck."
*''Taraimawashi-hen'' is one of two possible storylines when first playing {{matsuri}}. If Keiichi chooses to talk to Shion after the Watanagashi Festival, the player begins ''Taraimawashi-hen''. If they instead choose to talk to Tomitake and Takano, they will begin {{onikakushi}}.
*''Taraimawashi-hen'' is the shortest visual novel arc in {{higurashi}}.
